“The town had a basketful of feelings good and bad about Joe's positions and possessions, but none had the temerity to challenge him.They bowed down to him rather, because he was all of these things, and then again he was all of these things because the town bowed down.” —Zora Neale Hurston

“‘the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice’ …It doesn’t bend on its own. History tells us we often have to apply force needed to make sure that the arc gets where it needs to go. This is one of those times.”

I think the use of chatbots for stuff like this is intended to train people to use it to avoid everything that’s painful or hard. It can write the obituary, the breakup text, the complaint letter. It’s meant to separate humans from their difficult feelings. Seems bad.

This, James Baldwin’s birthday, is the perfect day for this passage from NO NAME IN THE STREETS. It is certain, in any case, that ignorance, allied with power, is the most ferocious enemy justice can have," Baldwin wrote in his essay No Name in the Street.
